The Thin White Duke is a stage persona created and performed by the English musician David Bowie in 1975 and 1976.

It was during the tour that followed the release of Young Americans in 1975 that Bowie began to identify with the Duke. The following year, the avatar became emblematic of the album Station to Station, where he is mentioned by name in the eponymous title. The character shares some of his style and attributes with Thomas Jerome Newton, the humanoid alien played by Bowie in the film The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976).

After David Bowie moved to West Berlin in early 1977, his Thin White Duke faded quietly.

Longevity of carbon pigment inks
Tests carried out in the USA, in the Wilhem research center, guarantee a longevity of 150 years if these inks are associated with acid-free papers, with the Hahnemühle or Canson paper ranges we work with.
On a more technical aspect, the carbon inks are encapsulated: it is coal dust mixed with a binder which allows to deposit it on the paper. No difference in density between the printer output and after drying. There is a slight evaporation of the binder which stabilizes the pigment on the coating. It remains then the coal dust, which will give the density and nuance of the black and white impression.
The inks are made from pure monochromatic pigments chosen for their resistance to light, available in seven progressive shades, from light gray to black. They are specially designed to reflect light back to the viewer’s eye and completely eliminate color anomalies such as metamerism (which changes color depending on the light source). The Piezography System, monochrome inks, provides a unique photographic look that includes depth and brilliance throughout the image surface.
The formula allows for a longevity that reaches record levels when printing on archival and fine art papers. The print quality is at least equal to the best silver baryta print, if not better.
